FM Data Sheet 3-26 FIRE PROTECTION WATER DEMAND FOR NONSTORAGE SPRINKLERED 
PROPERTIES 07/2011 ED

2.1.1.6 For new or existing Nonstorage occupancies, it is acceptable to use 
storage sprinklers to protect all areas of mixed storage and manufacturing, and 
Nonstorage. Determine the water demand design requirements and evaluate 
obstructions based on the applicable occupancy-specific storage data sheet.

NFPA 13 2010 says this, yea I know says nothing about non-storage, but this all 
I can find. Ordinary hazard storage and mics storage has Ord Grp. 1 & 2 designs.

12.6.7 CMSA and ESFR sprinklers shall be permitted to protectordinary hazard 
storage of Class I through Class IV commodities,plastic commodities, 
miscellaneous storage, andother storage as specified in Chapter 12 through 
Chapter 20or by other NFPA standards.

So if I have an extra hazard occupancy as per NFPA can I use an ESFR system? 
Say an injection molding operation with hydraulic fluid?? Looks like FM says 
yes and NFPA No???? I see this when the spec building is built and ESFR is 
installed and a non-storage occupancy moves in.
